Infrastructure reimagined for real-time data and AI

Why Aklivity

The foundation that connects your apps is built for AI

AI agents are a new class of consumer. They act across systems, on behalf of people, and need hard boundaries. The same gateway that governs access for your apps now governs access for your agents under one identity model and one record.

Data stays home

stateless, in-perimeter data plane

Run the data plane in your own network. Zilla connects users, apps, and agents to live data without moving it out of your control.

Speaks your protocols

multi-protocol mediation

Expose real-time data through the interfaces your systems already use — web, mobile, devices, APIs, and agents over MCP.

Identity end-to-end

identity carried per request

Carry user identity through every request, stream, and tool call, so access is authorized, traceable, and accountable.

Config, not code

spec-driven governance

Define what can be shared, who can use it, and how access is enforced, with configuration, not rebuilt application code.

Products

One gateway for everything you connect

Zilla mediates the traffic between your consumers and your systems, and governs it in one place. Use it for Kafka, for AI, or for both.

The Gateway

Manage What Flows Throught It

Available now

Zilla now supports MCP

One endpoint for every agent. Governed access to your APIs, services, and real-time data, set up with configuration, not code.

"I love Zilla! It’s quite the novel approach to fleshing out an api gateway."
